Mobile Learning Lab

I have actually been experimenting with the use of cell phones in class. Students always want to have their cell phone with them and love text messaging so I thought rather than fight them on this I would utilize their cell phones. I set up a couple questions that serve as quick assessments and reflection on a day's learning. Using polleverywhere.com I set up simple questions such as "How do you feel you understood the material covered in class today?" the students are able to text a key code that matches up with their particular thoughts. I have found that these are a simple way to gauge class feedback and it's something the kids enjoy partaking in as well.
